MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (MAIR) A globally networked world requires innovative international policy professionals. Through the Master of Arts in International Relations (MAIR), the Maxwell School seeks to prepare the next generation of professionals to meet this need. More than 1,500 Maxwell School alumni serve at all levels of the international system. This includes roles within the , national diplomatic corps, and the international policy establishment, as well as in careers in transnational non-governmental organizations and the international private sector. The Maxwell School provides students with the strong foundation needed to make a lasting contribution in the international relations field. The program combines academic training in international relations with professional preparation for the international public, non- and private sectors. The following pages detail the MAIR requirements, signature coursework, and career track options. Core Coursework (16 credits) The core coursework for the MAIR provides students with foundational knowledge of international affairs, quantitative and qualitative skills, as well as the analytic, presentational, and writing abilities needed for success in any international career. All MAIR students must demonstrate proficiency in the following competencies: International Affairs Theory and Practice Statistical and Economic Analysis Research Methodology and Evaluation of International Programs and Staff International and Crisis Response The department continually updates the listing of courses fulfilling these requirements. The offerings approved as of the beginning of the 2020-2021 academic year can be found on the MAIR planning form in this handbook. Signature Coursework (3 credits) As an interdisciplinary field, international relations draws upon different perspectives to address emerging global challenges. The signature courses draw on the strengths of the Maxwell School’s departments to enrich student thinking through anthropological, economic, geographic, historical, and perspectives. All students complete one of the following signature courses. If these courses are not offered, the department will identify appropriate substitutes.

The career track provides substantive knowledge through the completion of four courses (12 credits) within one of the following tracks: 1. Data Analysis for International Affairs 2. Development and Humanitarian Assistance 3. Governance, Diplomacy, and International Organizations 4. International Political Economy: Finance, Trade and Migration 5. Peace, Security and Conflict 6. Regional Concentration (Africa, East Asia and South Asia, and Eurasia, Latin America, and North Africa) Each career track draws on the interdisciplinary strengths of the Maxwell School’s social science departments. To position themselves for professional success, students should explore interdisciplinary coursework and complete an internship that aligns with their career track. Elective Coursework (9 credits) The remaining nine credits of coursework are elective credits, drawn from across the Maxwell School’s social science graduate departments and the broader graduate course offerings at . Global Internship Requirement To bridge theory and practice in international affairs, MAIR students must complete a required global internship. This internship provides the opportunity to apply academic skills in a professional setting and to gain the field experience needed for post-graduate careers. While most internships are unpaid, paid positions are acceptable. It is not required that the position is

strictly defined as an internship, but should result in professional development in a place of employment. All students must complete at least one three-credit internship under the supervision of a Syracuse University faculty member. Students entering the program in August 2021 will complete their internship during summer or fall of 2022. A global internship should fulfill the following criteria: • It should have a close link with the student’s selected career track. • The selected organization or position should have an international focus. • Be a minimum of 250 hours and 7 weeks during the summer term and 250 hours and 12 weeks during the fall or spring terms. To ensure that an internship fulfills this requirement, students should consult Isaac Olson, Associate Director of Internships and Global Learning for individualized advice. International Relations Capstone Seminar (1 credit) The international relations capstone seminar is, alongside the international relations internship, the culminating experience for the MAIR degree. The seminar is an applied simulation experience, wherein students will demonstrate their skills in developing policy recommendations under real-world conditions. Students will work in small groups under the supervision of experienced policy professionals to respond to contemporary strategic challenges. Second Language Proficiency All students must demonstrate knowledge of a second modern language at the “advanced intermediate level”.1 Upon matriculating, students will identify the language used to fulfill this requirement. Students without two years of formal language instruction should inquire about alternative ways to demonstrate proficiency with the Associate Director, Student Services. Students may pursue graduate language study to meet the requirement and can count up to six credits of graduate language study toward the MAIR, counted as electives. Typical MAIR course schedule

1 The Department of Public Administration and International Affairs considers the advanced intermediate level met through the completion of four semesters of university-level language study. 7

The MAIR is usually completed in 16 months of full-time study, with two semesters on Syracuse University’s campus and a summer and fall semester off-campus. Students entering in 2021 should complete their studies in December 2022. During the semesters on campus, students complete 24 credits of coursework, focused on core course requirements and initial career track studies. While off-campus, students complete 16 credits of remaining career track and elective coursework. MAIR Completion requirements The MAIR degree requires the completion of 40 credits of graduate coursework, at least 34 of which must be Maxwell School coursework.2 Students must fulfill all the course requirements listed above and maintain a 3.0 grade point average.

GOVERNANCE, DIPLOMACY, & INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS (GDIO) Nation-states remain pillars of the international system, even as the influence of non-state actors on international affairs, such as corporations or armed opposition groups, grows. Understanding international policy requires comprehension of the state’s role as well as the influence of non-state actors. In a world where diplomacy and policy analysis remain key to the practice of international affairs, the Governance, Diplomacy, and International Organizations career track provides students with the skills and training needed to understand interactions between states, the role of leadership within international and transnational organizations and objective analysis of such behavior. This track draws on the Maxwell School’s long history of leadership training and international policy analysis. This includes work on negotiation and conflict resolution, cultural awareness, political leadership, and organizational management.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY: FINANCE, TRADE & MIGRATION A basic understanding of economic principles is an indispensable part of the international affairs graduate’s toolkit. This need is more vital as global economic factors drive the rise in populism and threaten a return to the protectionism that aggravated international conflict during the inter- period. More recently, the Great Recession and the advance in automation raise profound questions about the efficacy of and international economic governance. The career track focuses on the economic relationship between states. It also examines the incentives facing non-state actors in the realms of international trade, finance and migration while probing how technological and climate change impacts international conflict and cooperation. By focusing on the link between economics and politics, International political economy (IPE) taps into an older tradition of economic theory that is increasingly relevant for understanding the geopolitical forces buffeting the international system today. Students are exposed to everything from bond and currency markets to global value chains, the economics of tariffs and financial sanctions and the evolving roles of competing international financial institutions. They learn how to apply and interpret political economy principles and data to the evolving relationship between the world’s two leading powers – the United States and China. They study the tradeoffs experienced by emerging market economies as they liberalize capital flows. Furthermore, IPE students develop a sophisticated understanding of how principles of economic geography and agglomeration shape the illicit global economy governed by transnational criminal organizations.

PEACE, SECURITY AND CONFLICT (PSC) The post- and post-9/11 world forced a change in thinking about the dynamic relationship between Peace, Security, and Conflict. Security is critical to stability and development. New security challenges can emerge rapidly, forcing actors to confront complex and unfamiliar challenges while continuing to address historic tensions. Changing power relationships can create new anxieties. New technologies both pose security threats and provide opportunities to promote peace. The rise of non-state actors also forces and international organizations to adapt their strategies to better address and understand conflict drivers. Those interested in careers in , , and peacebuilding must understand how these new challenges affect the international environment. This understanding allows for the development of more effective by nation-states, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations to address threats to international peace and security. Coursework in this track incorporates issues critical to an understanding of peace, security, and conflict. This includes conflict drivers and peacebuilding strategies, national and , post-conflict reconstruction, spoilers of peace, civil-military relations, international cooperation, intelligence, military operations and strategy, and transnational threats.

MAIR/MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MPA) Since inception in 1924, the Masters of Public Administration (MPA) degree at the Maxwell School has greatly influenced the field of public administration through its distinguished faculty and alumni. The degree prepares students for management challenges and provides context for public policy analysis. The interaction between international relations and public administration makes the dual-degree option an invaluable experience for students seeking a career valuing the combination of international expertise and public management skills. The dual-degree is completed in two years of full time study and allows for an extended professional internship. Admitted students begin their studies in the summer with the MPA core courses and complete the joint program requirements in two years of full-time study. Internal candidates from the international relations and public administration degrees are considered for the joint degree program on an individual basis. Students in the dual-degree program complete all core requirements for each degree. They then build two topical areas of study/career track concentrations (one in international relations and one in public administration). More information on the requirements, processes, and timelines for the MPA degree are in the 2020-2021 Master of Public Administration Handbook, available from the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs. Program Sequence The MPA/MAIR degree requires students to complete core requirements for both individual degrees as part of 58 credits of total graduate coursework. Most students spend three semesters on Syracuse University’s main campus and at least one semester conducting overseas research or professional development opportunities in their chosen field of focus. The MAIR handbook provides a more detailed course planning sheet, as well as information on international opportunities and off-campus practical development. MPA/MAIR - Dual-Degree Program

MAIR/MASTER OF ARTS IN ECONOMICS (MAIR-MAECN) Each day, global headlines reveal how economic forces drive international conflict or spur greater international stability and prosperity. In addition to its underpinning of international affairs, economic theory provides solutions to many leading global challenges. While the MAIR degree provides a foundation in economic problems and issues, the Maxwell School’s dual master’s degree program in international relations and economics (MAIR-MAECN) facilitates a deeper understanding of economic concepts and applied quantitative techniques. It is also possible to apply to the Economics Program after matriculating in the MAIR program. . Upon completion of these requirements, students receive two graduate degrees, one in international relations and one in economics. Program Sequence The MAIR/MAECN degree requires students to complete the core requirements for both degrees through 58 credits of graduate coursework. There are multiple ways to structure the joint degree program; and students should consult with the Associate Director of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Director for Economics to discuss options tailored to their individual needs. MAIR/MAECN - International Relations Core Requirements All MAIR and MAECN students complete the core requirements for both degrees.

M.A. IN PUBLIC DIPLOMACY AND GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS (MA-PDGC) Public diplomacy has evolved beyond the traditional view that includes government-sponsored informational, cultural, and educational exchange and broadcasting activities to promote national interests. Governments, international organizations, transnational NGOs and private companies need people who understand diverse audiences at home and abroad and who can build relationships and strengthen public understanding of divisive issues. These professionals need multiple skills: the ability to understand others within their social and cultural context, to build purposeful relations, articulate clearly, engage with different views, and stand back from narrow interests. They must support the organization or government in communicating its message in times of change or crisis. Every organization, regardless of size or mission, needs staff with the training to create and sustain a dialogue with external audiences. To fill this need, Syracuse University offers this new degree program, allowing students to complete a Master of Arts jointly administered by the internationally renowned S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications alongside the Maxwell School. Program Sequence The MA-PDGC builds on the cores of the Master of Science in Public Relations and the Master of Arts in International relations as part of 43 credits of total graduate coursework. Students begin their studies with the Public Relations Boot Camp during the summer semester. They may spend their second summer off campus if they choose and all PDGC students must complete their final spring semester as part of the practicum in Washington, DC. Students should consult with the Associate Director for Student Services and their Newhouse School advisor to discuss individually tailored options.

ACADEMIC & PERSONAL STANDARDS Academic Integrity Policy The Academic Integrity Office of the Division of Academic Affairs at Syracuse University administers the University’s academic integrity policy. The Department of Public Administration and International Affairs takes academic integrity very seriously. Syracuse University aspires to the highest standards of integrity and honesty in all endeavors. The Academic Integrity Policy is designed to make integrity and honesty central to the Syracuse University experience by: setting forth clear ethical expectations for students in their academic endeavors; promoting consistency of standards and practices across colleges, schools and programs; encouraging reporting of suspected violations; and facilitating the resolution of cases as promptly as possible while providing thorough and fair consideration for students and instructors. Education is a central goal of the policy, including affording students an opportunity to discuss and learn from academic integrity violations. Academic integrity is expected of all Syracuse University community members and the academic integrity policy applies to all school and colleges. A more detailed description of the academic integrity expectations of the Syracuse University community are detailed online at http://class.syr.edu/academic-integrity/policy/. This University, like all academic institutions in the United States, assumes that the written work of a student is the student's own, and that any original or research contributions taken from the published works of others will be properly acknowledged. In an academic setting, plagiarism is a serious concern. The presentation of other’s ideas, opinions and words as one’s own work violates academic integrity and any violation of academic integrity will be penalized by the university. GRADING SYSTEM Graduate students at Syracuse University are graded on an A-F scale. Please note that it is a Syracuse University academic that graduate students may not be assigned the grade of D or D-. Passing grades for graduate students lie within the general A, B, and C category. Since the graduate school requires a minimum 3.0 grade point average to certify a graduate degree, a grade below that threshold should be regarding as a strong indicator that coursework was below faculty expectations. Graduate students may be granted an Incomplete (I) only if it can be demonstrated that exceptional circumstances prohibit the student from completing work in the normal time limits of the course. Generally speaking, illness or other exceptional circumstances are the basis for

58

this consideration. Students who believe that their circumstances warrant the issuance of an incomplete should consult with the course instructor. To receive an incomplete, a student must complete a Request for Incomplete form and obtain the instructor's approval. The completed and signed Request for Incomplete is then submitted to the appropriate departmental chairperson. Until the work is completed, an incomplete calculates as an F (0 grade points) until the final work is submitted. CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT As graduate students at Syracuse University, you are expected to abide by the university’s universal student code of conduct. All Syracuse University students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to the University’s educational mission. The University expects that all members of the community are committed to the fundamental ideals of integrity, respect for the person and property of others, and to the intellectual and personal growth within a diverse population. For more details on the Syracuse University Student Code of Conduct, please visit: https://policies.syr.edu/policies/academic-rules-student-responsibilities-and-services/code-of- student-conduct/.
